Madam Is A Sensational Figure In The City

“Little pepper, how can you bear to be so fierce to me?” Zhuang Heng asked aggrievedly like a dainty wife.

Yan Jinyi rolled her eyes at the vain man and a familiar figure suddenly appeared in in the corner of her eyes.

She raised her brows, crossed her legs, and switched to another position. After everyone left, she asked slowly, “What are you doing here in the Huo family’s manor at this timing?”

The person who came was Leng Jing.

Leng Jing seemed to have become much more haggard as she was out of sorts and dispirited. Leng Yuxi was the only one who could cause an elegant and dignified wealthy man’s wife end up in such a state.

Yan Jinyi was secretly amazed but her attitude towards Leng Jing had become much better. “Zhang Guoquan, go grab a comfortable chair for Madam Bai.”

“No, it’s fine.” Leng Jing shook her head and said, “This wooden chair is fine.”

After adjusting the hem of her skirt, Yan Jinyi sat down. She was having a snack and perhaps because of her beauty, she looked rather beautiful and pleasing to the eye.

She was the woman whom she wanted as a daughter-in-law but to her surprise, she was Huo Xishen’s newlywed wife.

“Second Young Mistress Huo, as far as I know, your grandmother mistreats you and has threatened you again and again. I bet you don’t have a close relationship with her, do you?”

“So?”

Leng Yuxi smiled slightly and said, “Leng Yuxi wasn’t in good health when she was a child. Besides, my siblings and my husband’s siblings had all given birth to sons. That’s why Yuxi was the apple of everyone’s eyes since she was born.”

‘Is she trying to show off how well-off Leng Yuxi is and how pampered she is?’

......

Yan Jinyi drank a mouthful of water calmly and said, “Madam Bai, please go ahead.”

“Second Young Mistress Huo, you’ve been married to Huo Xishen for about two years, huh? When do you plan to have kids?”

‘Why did she change the subject? Do I look like someone who wants kids?’

‘I’m still a baby.’

“Madam Bai, I don’t like beating around the bush. Get straight to the point.”

Leng Jing fumbled about for a while before saying, “Second Young Mistress Huo, I can give you as much money as you want but I hope you’ll withdraw the charges. I believe Yuxi already knows her mistakes. As long as Second Young Mistress Huo is willing to withdraw charges, I’ll be willing to concede to all your wishes.”

“Why?” Yan Jinyi retorted without even thinking, “Am I very close to the Bai family? Am I on great terms with Leng Yuxi? Leng Yuxi has repeatedly tried to harm me and now, she has even killed my maternal grandmother. Why should I withdraw charges?”

Leng Jing knew that it sounded so ridiculous that even she...

However, she had no choice but to go all out for Leng Yuxi’s sake.

“I just hope that Yuxi won’t face the death sentence and that you’ll give her a chance to turn over a new leaf.”

“I’ll consider when Leng Yuxi gets on her knees to beg me for forgiveness.” Yan Jinyi said while staring at Leng Jing’s face. There were no traces of time on her face as she was beautiful and dignified.

At the thought of something, she suddenly sneered. “Madam Bai, take this basket of fruits back home with you to suppress your shock, lest others think that I’m being petty.”

Upon sight of Yan Jinyi handing the fruit that he had exquisitely selected to Leng Jing, Zhuang Heng’s face turned sullen and he exclaimed, “Little pepper, that was a gift from me to you!”

“Since you’ve given it to me, it’s mine and it’s up to me to give it away as I please.”

If Zhuang Heng had given her something valuable, she wouldn’t be willing to give it away at all.

“Instead of begging me, you should be hiring a lawyer to defend for Leng Yuxi.” As she spoke, Yan Jinyi sized Leng Jing up again before shaking her head. “Indeed, wealthy people are heartless. How can a woman who killed my grandmother have the cheek to come begging me for forgiveness?”

“I...”

“Madam Bai, you probably don’t know Miss Yan well. She’ll never hesitate to hit anyone if she’s furious.” Tang Qing suddenly said, “Madam Bai, you’d better work harder on the marriage alliance with the Fu family.”
